Can I be an extra on the 91�ȱ�?

When producers need extras and walk-ons for a production they go to one of several specialist agencies and may also advertise in the local press.

We can't recommend any specific agencies but we'd suggest you use industry publications for advice, for example, the one published by Spotlight at www.spotlight.com.

Why is there advertising on 91�ȱ� websites?

The 91�ȱ� puts advertising on its website for users outside the UK. We use the income to help fund 91�ȱ� services and keep the licence fee (paid by UK households) lower than it otherwise would be.

We have very strict rules governing the adverts and advertisers which we can accept and we would never allow non-91�ȱ� approved advertising on our website. However, if you do notice some inappropriate advertising we would recommend clearing the cache on your internet browser as this may cause inappropriate adverts to appear.

If you're viewing the website from within the UK and you can see advertising, please let us know using the Contact Us webform.

What locations does the 91�ȱ� use to film?

We can't supply details about the locations used in most 91�ȱ� programmes, however, some programmes may occasionally publish this information on their programme's website. Use the A-Z directory to find the programme website you're looking for.

You could also try searching for the official social media accounts for the programme, for example on X (formerly known as Twitter) or Facebook. They may post information about filming locations there.
